Activity 2
Activity 1
Implies:
Identifying how the activities involved in each
task enable students to develop skills of judging
their own work and that of others
How can students be more actively
involved in assessment?
Applicable to all students
• Through not being the passive recipients of assessment
acts
• Through choosing assessment tasks appropriate to
learning outcomes
• Through identifying standards and developing suitable
criteria by which to judge their work
• Through acting as sources of feedback information for
others
• Through being expected to act on feedback in
subsequent work
Criteria for good assessment
Implies:
much greater levels of cooperation and sequencing in a
program in designing assessment. Holistic assessment
planning
Curriculum mapping and alignment
• Undertaken to connect assessment tasks with
unit and course outcomes, including graduate
attributes
• Do the various course units enable students to
develop the planned outcomes, and are they
being assessed to ensure they have been
achieved?
• Is the balance across different units and over time
balanced and appropriate?
• Focus is on what is intended
An example of a curriculum mapping tool
Curriculum Mapping Tool – Subject Overview
Spreadsheet (SOS): (Bajada, Lawson, & Lee)
• The SOS is a tool for curriculum mapping to plan for student
graduate attribute development across a whole program. It
collects data for course units, then produces a series of
tables so that course teaching teams can view the types,
weightings, and distribution of intended graduate
attributes, program and unit learning outcomes and
assessment tasks.
• The tables are used to identify ‘gaps’ or ‘overloading‘ in the
assessment design so subjects can be adapted to provide a
more appropriate balance for the students.

An example—Re:View
• ReView is a web application developed to aid
marking, feedback and graduate attribute
development.
• Student self-assessment and comparisons with
tutors is an option that can be selected for each task
• It enables students to track their development over
time
